Question 9 of 20

In a circus, there is a stunt involving swinging. There are many swingers whose legs are anchored to the swing and their hands are free for stunts. There are free swingers who perform many stunts and swing between these Anchored swingers. One unit of activity of an anchored swinger starts by holding the free swinger, continues with performing the stunts and then finishes with the anchored swinger leaving the contact of free swinger. There is a dependency in this scenario that an anchored swinger can start his stunt by holding the hand of the free swinger only after the previous anchored swinger has left the hands of the free swinger. This dependency between the activities of anchored swingers is of type

1. FF

2. SS

3. FS

4. SF

Question 19 of 20

Question 20 of 20

20.

An estimation method uses the following formula

Estimate = (O + M + P) / 3

Where

O = Optimistic Estimate

M = Most likely estimate

P = Pessimistic estimate

This method is of the following type among estimation methodologies:

1. Statistical estimation because is uses likelihoods

2. 3 point estimate with PERT distribution

3. 3 point estimate with triangular distribution

4. Parametric estimation because it uses a formula
